  1. OK, I GOT THE ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS... SO I WILL POST WHAT I FOUND OUT IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE IS FROM WISCONSIN AND HAS BADGER-CARE TITLE 19 ... WITH TITLE 19 YOU HAVE TO HAVE 2 OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CO- MORBIDITY 1) UNCONTROLLED HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, UNCONTROLLED DIABETES, sleep APNEA , OR SOME TYPE OF LIFE THREATENING CARDIOVASCULAR ISSUE BEING CAUSED BY THE WEIGHT.. THERE ARE ALSO OTHER Criteria YOU HAVE TO MEET.. LIKE 6 MONTHS WITH DIETITIAN , LETTER OF MEDICAL NECESSITY etc...
  2. I am hoping to have the rny I go to my first apt with the surgeon in about 1 week I have been to the nutrisionist and I go to the shrink this coming week I am just hoping I get approved I have High blood preasure,hiperlipidemia, pre diabetes, 6 herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, acid reflux, osteoarthritis,and I am going in the morning for my sleep apnea consult because my Doc suspects I have that also..... Good lord I hope I qualify ... I called my insurance they said only the provider (MY Doctor) can inquire on what co-morbidities are covered so I also go to my Primary in the Am. i AM going to have them call if they dont already know and inquire on what i would need to qualify and hopefully I will get good news so I can stop stressing already . If you dont mind me asking what would disqualify someone from being able to get the rny and have to go with the sleeve? When will you find out for sure if you can get your surgery date moved up? by the way my name is Vicky nice to meet you..
